[0038] In the outdoor unit foot 100 provided in this embodiment, the support surface of the support portion 120 and the locking portion 110 are not in the same plane, and the locking portion 110 is in the direction opposite to the support surface of the plane where the support surface is located. When the outdoor unit foot 100 is installed on the outdoor unit bracket 200, the support surface of the support portion 120 will fit the outdoor unit bracket 200, so there will be a certain gap between the locking portion 110 and the outdoor unit bracket 200. In this way, after the locking portion 110 of the outdoor unit foot 100 and the outdoor unit bracket 200 are locked by using the threaded locking assembly 300, the locking The part 110 will produce a certain elastic deformation, which can increase the extrusion force between the thread locking assembly and the locking part 110 of the outdoor unit base 100, and between the thread locking assembly 300 and the outdoor unit bracket 200, thereby increasing the pre-tightening force of the thread locking assembly 300. Therefore, the thread locking assembly 300 is not easy to loosen, and the risk of the thread locking assembly 300 falling off is reduced from the design source, which can cope with the problem that the thread locking assembly 300 is easy to fall off during the transportation of the air conditioner.

[0040] Specifically, the spacing range between the planes where the supporting surfaces of the locking portion 110 and the supporting portion 120 are located can be set to 0.5 to 2 mm. In this way, the preload force of the threaded locking assembly 300 can be within an ideal range, and the locking effect of the threaded locking assembly 300 on the outdoor unit base 100 and the outdoor unit bracket 200 can be ensured.

[0041] Preferably, the distance between the locking portion 110 of the outdoor unit foot and the plane where the supporting surface of the supporting portion 120 is located can be set to 1 mm, so that the pre-tightening force and locking effect of the thread locking assembly 300 are better.

[0042] Specifically, at least two support parts 120 can be set, and these support parts 120 are respectively set on the opposite sides of the locking part 110. In this way, the support parts 120 can support the outdoor unit base 100 on the opposite sides of the locking part 110, so that the locking part 110 can be supported by the support parts 120 on both sides, and the gap between the locking part 110 and the outdoor unit bracket 200 can be guaranteed, and then the preload force and locking effect of the threaded locking assembly 300 can be guaranteed.

[0043] The support portion 120 is preferably symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the locking portion 110, which is beneficial to improving the force balance of the outdoor unit base 100, thereby improving the supporting strength of the outdoor unit base 100 and improving the connection reliability between the outdoor unit base 100 and the outdoor unit bracket 200.

[0044] Furthermore, two support parts 120 may be provided, and the two support parts 120 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the locking part 110 , so that the structure of the outdoor unit foot 100 is simpler and the strength is higher.

The suspended portion 130 is provided as a groove-shaped structure, and the notch direction of the suspended portion 130 is provided to be consistent with the direction of the supporting surface. The suspended portion 130 is used as a structure for connecting the locking portion 110 and the supporting portion 120, so that the structural strength between the locking portion 110 and the supporting portion 120 can be improved, which is not only conducive to the elastic deformation of the locking portion 110 after the threaded locking assembly 300 is tightened, but also after the locking portion 110 is elastically deformed, the outdoor unit foot 100 is not easy to break at the position between the locking portion 110 and the supporting portion 120, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the outdoor unit foot 100.

[0046] Preferably, the locking portion 110 and the supporting portion 120 can be smoothly transitionally connected to the suspended portion 130. In this way, the structural strength of the connection between the locking portion 110 and the suspended portion 130, as well as the structural strength of the connection between the supporting portion 120 and the suspended portion 130 can be improved. As a result, the connection between the locking portion 110 and the suspended portion 130, as well as the connection between the supporting portion 120 and the suspended portion 130 are not prone to breakage, which can improve the overall structural strength of the outdoor unit base 100.

[0047] Specifically, the locking portion 110 and the suspended portion 130 may be transitionally connected by using an arc-shaped rounded corner structure, and similarly, the supporting portion 120 and the suspended portion 130 may be transitionally connected by using an arc-shaped rounded corner structure.

[0048] The shape of the suspended portion 130 of the outdoor unit foot 100 can be similar to a U-shaped groove, and the locking portion 110 and the supporting portion 120 are respectively connected to the groove walls on both sides of the suspended portion 130 in a smooth transition.

[0049] Specifically, the support portion 120 can be set at the edge of the outdoor unit base 100. On this basis, a flange 121 folded in the direction away from the supporting surface can be set at the outer edge of the support portion 120. The existence of the flange 121 can improve the structural strength of the support portion 120, thereby improving the supporting performance of the outdoor unit base 100.

[0050] Preferably, a through hole can be provided in the middle of the locking portion 110 of the outdoor unit foot 100, so that the bolt 310 in the thread locking assembly 300 can pass through the through hole and the through hole on the outdoor unit bracket 200 in sequence, and then be tightened in cooperation with the nut 320 in the thread locking assembly 300, so as to complete the locking and fixing of the outdoor unit foot 100 and the outdoor unit bracket 200 by the thread locking assembly 300. It should be noted that providing the through hole on the locking portion 110 in the middle of the locking portion 110 can improve the locking effect of the thread locking assembly 300 on the outdoor unit foot 100.

[0052] In the air conditioner provided in this embodiment, when assembling the outdoor unit foot 100 and the outdoor unit bracket 200, the outdoor unit foot 100 can be placed at the corresponding foot installation position on the outdoor unit bracket 200, so that the supporting surface of the supporting portion 120 of the outdoor unit foot 100 is attached to the outdoor unit bracket 200. At this time, there will be a certain gap between the locking portion 110 of the outdoor unit foot 100 and the outdoor unit bracket 200. Afterwards, the locking portion 110 of the outdoor unit foot 100 and the outdoor unit bracket 200 can be connected and fixed together by using the threaded locking assembly 300, and the locking portion 110 will A certain elastic deformation is generated, which can increase the extrusion force between the thread locking assembly 300 and the locking part 110 of the outdoor unit base 100, and between the thread locking assembly 300 and the outdoor unit bracket 200, thereby increasing the pre-tightening force of the thread locking assembly 300. Therefore, the thread locking assembly 300 is not easy to loosen, and the risk of the thread locking assembly 300 falling off is reduced from the design source, which can deal with the problem that the thread locking assembly 300 is easy to fall off during the transportation of the air conditioner.
